I wish I posted more anecdotal stories about my day as a sanfrancisco 911 dispatcher . . .911 for "Emergencies"Best Call of the DayI'll do my best to remember how she said it - - -"hello, I'm taking a group of senior citizens to the zoo, and, well, I'm concerned about those chimpanzees . . . if we stay together as a group, they won't attack us, right?"

I had so many questions for this caller - but let her talk to a zoo employee and got back to work -1. do you think that the primates roam free through the park?2. is a lone senior at the zoo really more prone to chimp attacks than a group?3. where did you ever hear of a chimp attacking a human anyway?4. do you know you're calling 911?
